Stop Killing Order! One Devil Causes All Things to Live

"From now on, cultivators must not be killed indiscriminately; sea beasts Sea Monster may be captured and sacrificed."

After briefly displaying his divine power, Chen Dengming's first order to the first group of Incense Believer he controlled was a "stop the killing order."

Of course, this only stops the killing of fellow human cultivators, not completely stops the killing.

Now that they've made initial progress in stealing incense offerings, they need to restrict these Incense Believer step by step to avoid a quick collapse.

As for killing sea monsters Sea Monster, that's still killing. All living beings are life, and all should be treated equally.

Chen Dengming lacks such high ideological awareness; he can talk about it but not actually do it. He would have to give up his position at the Leshan Giant Buddha in his previous life and let him sit there. He would have to kneel down and repent before eating fish or duck.

After he issued the order.

This can be observed through the connection between the clone and the believers within the light curtain.

Hundreds of believers, including the powerful Devil Creature, expressed their acceptance of the new command.

The old man, who had just received the benefit and was dressed in a magnificent robe, took the lead in prostrating himself on the ground, raising his hands high, and bowing his body in worship.

"We, your servants, will obey the Demon Lord's decree!"

Hundreds of masked Devil Cultivator bowed down and shouted in unison, while the pangolin-like Devil Creature also lowered its four claws in obedience.

They had already witnessed how sacrificing Demon Beast could gain favor.

This is equivalent to having a standard with an existing reward mechanism. Now, as long as you follow the standard, you can receive a reward, so you will naturally believe it without a doubt.

"You agreed so quickly?"

Chen Dengming was both surprised and delighted.

Is this considered a preliminary success?

He sensed through his clone once again that his connection with this group of Incense Believer was closer than before, at least completely different from the other Incense Believer within the light screens who had no connection whatsoever. This was the first step he had successfully taken.

"Try other commands and see if they're willing to execute them..."

After pondering for a moment, Chen Dengming issued new instructions through his clone.

"Your location has been exposed. You'd better move to another remote place to avoid being besieged by cultivators..."

After this new instruction was issued, hundreds of believers once again prostrated themselves in worship, vowing to obey the sacred decree.

Many Devil Cultivator even showed strong emotion in their eyes.

The old cultivator, clad in a magnificent robe, was moved to tears, prostrating himself on the ground with trembling hands, and exclaimed with emotion.

"Your Excellency, thank you for your concern for our safety. We also do not wish to clash with cultivators from various sects across the four seas. It is a pity that they cannot understand our faith in you and insist on interfering, which is the reason for our frequent conflicts with them..."

"It seems to be another conflict between different Incense and Faith, or between those with and without faith. These people aren't inherently bad."

The thought had just formed in Chen Dengming's mind when he heard the old cultivator's next words, and he immediately fell silent.

"Can you blame us? No, you can't blame us. In fact, even when we captured the monks who came for the sacrifice, we did so with their consent."

Many of them live in dire straits, poverty, and even greed, and they ask us for help, needing more spirit crystals, better Law Artifact, Technique Method, as well as fame and status.

We only gave them the benefits after they agreed to the exchange.

For this, they have to give themselves to you.

Sacrificing oneself—how many of us envy this privilege? Yet they are unaware of their own good fortune.

Seeing the old cultivator's slightly morbid excitement and agitation, Chen Dengming had to retract his previous thought that these people were not inherently bad.

These people are beyond just being described as bad; they're practically a bunch of mentally twisted lunatics whose minds have been poisoned.

This isn't the kind of deceptive substitution you're talking about; it's outright treachery, making people make deals with the devil, deceiving one person and then it's all over, yet everyone still thinks they're innocent and that the world is the one at fault.

However, this is also a good opportunity.

If these madmen could be made to die through self-sacrifice, perhaps the overseas Cultivation World could be much more peaceful.

Chen Dengming immediately seized the opportunity to express his opinion, allowing this group of Incense Believer to offer sacrifices to him and personally experience the feeling of being 'blessed'.

As a result, the order almost caused an uproar and infighting among the hundreds of people, and he had to immediately call a halt to it to prevent the boat he had just settled into from capsizing.

It turns out that the Outer Realm Devil Venerable had left him a trap.

Such self-sacrifice is not something that can be done casually.

It is further divided into the method of offering sacrifices by Incense Believer and the method of offering ordinary sacrifices.

Those who are unwilling to perform a self-sacrifice after completing a 'transaction' are usually captured and forced to be sacrificed.

Those willing to perform self-sacrifice are placed at the back, where the Demon Lord's will will determine whether they are true believers and willing to offer incense.

If they pass the test, they will become believers.

Those who fail to pass will be directly sacrificed and sent to the so-called Demon Lord to receive instruction.

"It's like a disobedient kidney that's been turned into... ugh, it's so disgusting."

Even if Chen Dengming wasn't particularly shrewd, he could still figure it out if he used his brain, which hadn't been able to wipe himself for almost years since Grain Avoidance.

After this sacrifice, they definitely didn't go to the side of the Outer Realm Devil Venerable, and might not even go to the Below the Yin Spring; instead, their souls were scattered.

As for the true believers who pass the test, if these people are subtly influenced for a period of time, they will gradually become truly insane.

If these madmen are to sacrifice themselves, they must either undergo two sexual encounters and be chosen by the Demon Lord.

Alternatively, after a certain number of years of faith, one can choose to sacrifice oneself on the verge of death, allowing one's soul to go to the Demon Lord's side.

It is precisely because of these two pre-established 'rules'.

This made it difficult for a group of Incense Believer to accept Chen Dengming's suggestion that he could sacrifice himself.

It's like a long-held belief being shattered, with policies changing constantly.

Such a hasty decision will likely lead to internal strife, with the souls of the deceased being subjected to judgment by the Demon Lord.

Chen Dengming realized that he had taken too big a step and that if he didn't pull back, he would hurt himself, so he decided to postpone the discussion.

After calming down the first group of Incense Believer, he pointed out a possible relocation location for this Devil Cultivator.

He then arranged for his clone to continue to extend his Divine Sense to gather the many Incense Believer had established faith connections within the other light screens.

The primary group consists of Incense Believer live near his Longevity Sect temple.

After subduing these Devil Cultivators, they will be driven to other sea areas, thus ensuring temporary peace.

Since it's outside the jurisdiction of the Longevity Sect, it's not a headache for the Longevity Sect to have to send someone to deal with it.

There are more than thirty overlapping light curtains inside the Heart of the Ocean, which gather a powerful force of Incense and Faith.

Currently, the clone has only established a connection with one of the Incense and Faith, but Chen Dengming already feels that the scale of the Divine Sense in the clone's Sea of Consciousness seems to have become much more expansive.

A surge of Incense and Faith power flew out from the controlled light screen, no longer carrying the faint resentment and confusion, and transformed into a ball of Divine Sense within the clone's Sea of Consciousness.

However, this extra Divine Sense was very mixed.

Like a tangled mass of dark clouds, it is clearly distinct from the radiant and dazzling spiritual light of the Divine Sense, exhibiting a stark difference.

Within this cloud-like Divine Sense, countless subtle streams of information and a jumble of sounds seemed to be present.

It was as if the Divine Sense of many people were intertwined.

The slightest contact with one's Divine Sense will feel like being bombarded with demonic sounds, causing confusion and madness, and a faint demonic aura will be present.

"This is probably the power contributed by the faith that the Outer Realm Devil Venerable needs."

While it appears to enhance Divine Sense power, it is also extremely bewitching. Could it be that those cultivators who suddenly went mad across the four seas were gradually infected by their Divine Sense coming into contact with this demonic and evil Divine Sense?

Chen Dengming briefly observed the additional Divine Sense power in his clone's Sea of Consciousness, his expression becoming very solemn.

A rather logically clear and chilling guess had already formed in my mind.

"This power is what makes the Incense and Faith power related to the Devilish Immortal Way lineage so special. Other Incense Dao's or Buddhist Sect Incense Dao are probably not this sinister."

Chen Dengming couldn't help but think of the Bright Light Sect disciples from the Immortal Incense Dao he had met in the City of All Immortals, especially the Bright Light Sect goddess Bai Zhi, who had left a very good impression on him and had helped him a lot.

However, he felt that this feeling of confusion and madness was somewhat similar, as if he had seen it before.

As I pondered this, I couldn't help but recall that one of the treasures I had acquired shared some similarities.

His eyes flashed, and he patted the Storage Bag.

Whoosh whoosh--

The Yin Qi, Soul Guiding Banner banners fluttered in the wind.

It soared and danced before her, whistling and swirling around her.

"Out!"

Chen Dengming made a hand seal and summoned the Ghost Old Man Zhu Xun, taking the strange single eye from the evil black coffin that the ghost brother was baring his teeth and refusing to let go of.

This single eye felt chilling to the bone, like a giant cat's pupil, about the size of a fist, eerily sinister. When held in the hand, the pupil moved slowly as if it were alive, giving one the illusion that it was staring intently at them from any angle.

Chen Dengming sent in a wisp of his Divine Sense, and immediately the pupils shone brightly, releasing a wave of chaotic and intoxicating emotions that amplified the seven emotions and six desires in people's hearts.

After carefully comparing them, Chen Dengming shook his head, frowned, and threw the item to Zhu Xun, the Ghost Old Man who had just recovered his treasure, before putting away the Soul Guiding Banner.

This evil one-eyed creature differs slightly from the incense and Divine Sense gathered by the Devilish Immortal Way; it doesn't seem to be a demonic entity.

Chen Dengming once thought that this single eye might be the pupil of the evil spirit Shi Yiyin.

But now that I have a broader perspective and more experience, I feel that it doesn't seem like it, and that my previous judgment was wrong.

To unravel the origin of this unique phenomenon, perhaps the only way is to visit the former Repentance Cave of the Wonderful Sound Sect.

There are certain things that Lüo Bing reminded me of before she died.

However, Chen Dengming had reservations about going before, and he still hasn't gone now.

Why not enjoy a comfortable life of cultivation with a warm wife, a cozy bed, and nightly revelry with Nascent Soul cultivators? Why go looking for excitement? Even if you're going to do it, wait until you've reached the Nascent Soul before considering it.

Even the power of faith within his current avatar's Sea of Consciousness, though tempting, is something Chen Dengming dares not touch.

Even if it's a clone, he doesn't want to get involved for the time being.

"It is rumored that there is a causal connection between Incense and Faith."

"By accepting Incense and Faith, one becomes entangled in karma. It is possible for the incense to turn into Karma Fire, and faith to turn into resentment and anger."

Chen Dengming looked at the Green Hair clone sitting on the opposite mountain peak, but still did not approach it.

If he offends an ordinary cultivator, the other party might only be able to cause trouble for the Green Hair clone. If they can't find Bai Mao Chen, and he gets into trouble with karma, then things could get very complicated.

He hasn't even figured out the Human Immortal Way and the Heavenly Immortal Way yet. This Demon Immortal Incense Dao, which isn't recognized by gods and Buddhist Sect, is too evil, so he shouldn't go too deep into it.

Fortunately, the Heart of the Ocean within the Sea of Consciousness restrained this demonic Divine Sense.

Furthermore, since the clone is formed from the spiritual imprint of Immortal Celestial Dao Power, the probability of it being affected by demonic influence is extremely low.

With these two favorable factors in place, Chen Dengming felt temporarily at ease letting his clone control more Incense Believer within the light screen.

Meanwhile, his true form began surveying the feng shui around the deserted island, and according to the methods of array formation, he placed heavy array plates at various auspicious locations to set up a [Seven Luminaries Returning Wind Formation] temporarily transferred from the sect.

This Seven Luminaries Returning Wind Formation is a relatively high-end Third-tier High-grade Formation in the Longevity Sect's newly built sect Treasure Vault, and it is very expensive to build.

For ordinary Golden Core Cultivator, obtaining such a high-end Formation is extremely difficult.

As Longevity Dao Child, Chen Dengming could occasionally borrow and utilize public resources, a privilege he found quite appealing.

After concealing the deserted island with the Seven Luminaries Returning Wind Formation, the uncontrollable spiritual power and strange phenomena of the clone would not attract the attention of passing cultivators from all over the world.

Sometimes, to avoid trouble, you have to start with the smallest details. Don't be afraid of small troubles; if you're afraid of trouble, you'll never escape it.

After confirming that nothing had been missed, Chen Dengming did not linger and quickly rushed back to the sect to recover from his injuries. At the same time, he prepared to report the situation to Su Yan Yan after she woke up.

The only Nascent Soul Nascent Soul uncle currently in charge of the sect has not yet awakened, so even though Chen Dengming has achieved some results, he does not dare to take it upon himself to report the situation to the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance.

Sometimes, if you want to gain merit and improve the situation of your sect, simply looking at the results you achieve may not be enough.

If grades alone were the only measure of success, there wouldn't be so many talented individuals being overlooked and unfairly overlooked.

Ultimately, it all comes down to strength.

Chen Dengming is shrewd and experienced in handling affairs, and he will not give anyone the opportunity to take advantage of him.

At the same time.

On an island thousands of miles away, occupied by hundreds of Devil Cultivators.

Seeing that many Devil Cultivators in the distant mountains were already migrating in full swing, Chen Dengming instructed his other clone to immediately stop observing and prepare to call it a day and return to the sect.

"Your Highness Daozi, are we just leaving like this? You said they were going to migrate? How did you know that?"

True Man Yu Ding Ye Yong was completely bewildered, his expression one of utter astonishment. He felt utterly bewildered, as if this trip had been a complete mystery from beginning to end.

How come he knows nothing?

Your Highness Daozi only sent an avatar, yet he seemed to know everything.

How was this conclusion about the migration of Devil Cultivator reached?

Chen Dengming's clone glanced at True Man Yu Ding and smiled, "Elder Ye, you don't really need to be confused. If you knew some things, wouldn't you have become Dao Child?"

True Man Yu Ding blushed slightly, immediately guessing what was going on, and said awkwardly, "Oh, so this is..."

Chen Dengming said meaningfully, "It was Martial Aunt Su who told me. You don't believe me, but you should believe Martial Aunt Su, right? Why don't you go and follow them alone and keep an eye on their migration?"

True Man Yu Ding was startled and quickly chuckled awkwardly, waving his hands. "No, no, how could that be? I, Old Ye, have always firmly believed Your Highness Daozi's golden words, but with Martial Aunt Su's added, I believe them even more wholeheartedly."

"Alright. Let's head back then! Once these Devil Cultivator migrate out of our Longevity Sect's territory, they'll be none of our business anymore. We'll be happy to have some peace and quiet."

Chen Dengming was indeed happy to have some peace and quiet.

This lasted for four months.

The clones had taken control of most of the Incense Believer who had established faith connections within the thirty-seven light screens.

Only a small fraction of the Incense Believer either fell victim to powerful Devil Creature who failed to respond to their prayers for a long time, or were besieged and eliminated by the immortal sects in their vicinity.

Ultimately, the clone successfully controlled twenty-four groups of Incense Believer, totaling more than two thousand Devil Cultivator and over a dozen powerful Devil Creature.

As a result, the clone gained control over a vast amount of Incense and Faith power.

After leaving the light barrier, this immense power of Incense and Faith transformed into a vast and chaotic Divine Sense within the clone's Sea of Consciousness, filled with indescribable, frenzied, evil, and demonic nature, causing one's heart to tremble.

Chen Dengming dared not approach the clone too frequently anymore, and planned to remotely control the clone first, observe the situation, and gradually become familiar with and control this strange power to avoid involving the main body.

At the same time, he also successfully used his clone's control over many nearby believers to drive many Devil Cultivator away from the vicinity of the Longevity Sect, to some remote and uninhabited islands to live, so as to avoid causing trouble as much as possible.

As a result, the Longevity Sect enjoyed a rare period of peace.

Compared to the tense situation in other sea areas where immortal sects sometimes have cultivators going crazy and require large-scale suppression of Devil Cultivator, the Longevity Sect is much more at ease.

Chen Dengming seized this rare and precious time, and together with his several clones, he quickly cultivated the Longevity Merit to improve his proficiency in the Cultivation Method and accumulate enough strength to break through to a higher realm as soon as possible.

It is worth mentioning that, because the clone's Divine Sense already possessed a large amount of demonic Divine Sense power, Chen Dengming also figured out a way to use the clone to absorb demonic power.

Using this method, he successfully absorbed the residual demonic energy from the corpses and blood of the Golden Core Late Stage Devil Creature he hunted, reducing demonic contamination.

Even the Devil Creature souls within the Soul Guiding Banner, as well as the numerous Yin spirits corrupted by demonic energy, no longer need to be utilized through the wasteful method suggested by the Little Array Spirit.

Chen Dengming handed the Devil Creature's corpse to He Yingyu, whose weapon-refining skills had improved even further after breaking through to the Golden Core Realm.

This young woman used her own Golden Core Samadhi True Fire, combined with the half-ruined Ruyi Treasure Armor, to forge a brand new Third-tier High-grade armor, which is much more defensive.

The yin spirit of the Devil Creature in the Golden Core Late Stage was directly shattered and fed to the brothers in the banner, finally helping the Ghost Old Man had repeatedly failed in his breakthroughs Zhu Xun through to the Golden Core realm.

Even the Black Cloud Leopard, with its leopard-like courage, managed to eat some scraps from the corpses of Devil Creature and successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment Perfection within four months.

This journey can be described as a demon bringing down all living things.

At this very moment, Su Yan Yan, the third ancestor of longevity, finally recovered from his injuries and awoke, his spiritual power seemingly even stronger.

Chen Dengming felt a suppressed Nascent Soul spiritual power emanating from the cave abode, and his mood immediately lifted.

My uncle has finally woken up.

Moreover, it seems that he has turned misfortune into blessing, and his cultivation may have improved considerably.

Most importantly, now that his martial uncle has woken up, not only is there someone to manage the sect's affairs, but he can also continue to cultivate on the Cold Jade Ice Crystal Bed.

Without this bed for the past four months, his cultivation speed has slowed down, and he is quite unaccustomed to it. He also doesn't want to be so reckless as to run to his senior uncle's cave abode to share a bed and cultivate for free.

No matter how much you cultivate like a madman, you can't have this kind of mad magic.

Yesterday I broke my record for consecutive updates without ever taking a break from writing new chapters, what a pity! I'll just post a chapter of over 5,000 words late at night to express my apologies! Sigh!

I'm taking the high-speed train home during the day, and I'll add an extra chapter tomorrow without hesitation! Please vote with your monthly tickets!
